The Cat That Named Himself

August 21, 2013

After reading the story of “Maya is a Dude” it made me think of my cat Diablo… Diablo was given to us by a friend who’s cat had just given birth to a litter of kittens…He was very small and super cute, and our friend told us he was a girl. Being a huge fan of Star Wars, I decided to name her “Princess Lea”.

After a few weeks though, I kind of noticed 2 little bumps that should not have been there, and after a thorough examination, I realized that, just like in “Maya is a dude”, Princess Lea, was a dude!! TWIST! I was so used to calling him Princess lea, I didn’t know what to do! I couldn’t possibly keep the name, I didn’t want to confuse him 😉 So for the longest time after that, the cat was just “the cat” because I couldn’t come up with another name… But little by little, “the cat” made a name for himself for being “evil”! He would attack without warning, and bite your feet in the middle of the night if they were sticking out of the blankets. So we started calling him “the little devil” until it finally evolved to become “Diablo” (devil in Spanish). Now Diablo is 10 years old and he is much more mellow 😉 Would you like us to publish YOUR PET STORY? Click Here!
